Types of Matters

This part of the SAT website outlines the different types of ‘matters’ we deal with at SAT.

‘Matter’ is the name used for the whole of your legal issue - from your application through to the final orders.

There are pages discussing the main areas of SAT’s jurisdiction. SAT is different to courts because we need legislation to give us the power to hear each type of matter. Otherwise, the matter is Outside SAT’s Scope and we have to reject your application.

This isn’t an exhaustive list - for a full list of the matters we can hear, visit the jurisdiction page or start an application through the SAT Application Wizard. The first step of the Application Wizard is to choose the legislation you are going to apply under.
